Gpg fail while dropbox install

[Shirobachi]

Hi everybody!

I looked to pinned post and it’s awesome but not work for me ;(

I try to install dropbox by yay, console say:

:: PGP keys need importing:
 -> 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E, required by: dropbox
==> Import? [Y/n] 
:: Importing keys with gpg...
gpg: keyserver receive failed: General error
problem importing keys

By useful tips on pinned post I was looking for 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E and I found it inside keys.openpgp.org. I opened this page and paste this string, after that got information that it was found!
After that I use this command:

gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-key 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

and console said:

gpg: key FC918B335044912E: no user ID
gpg: Total number processed: 1

processed I expected that yay -s dropbox will give me successful installation, but give me same error like before

PS. I am newbie and tried from few Hs resolved with google and my very limited knowledge about linux, so if solution is simple, I’m sorry!

Have a nice day

Download the public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc

Go to the folder where you downloaded the key and use the following command:

gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

Hello !
As @chomsky mentioned, you can always download the public key directly.
Alternatively, you can try a different keyserver:

gpg --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

I’m confused…
Where keys should be located? Where I want to be? I was thinking about /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
Where you suggest to do this command?

[chomsky]

Clicking the link wil let you download the key, select your donwload folder. Open a terminal and cd to your downloads folder then type gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

Or do what @DarkWav mentioned.

You right ofc!

Thanks a lot, it works.

Actually I do not understand why it did not before ;/ Anyway thank you a lot <3

The only thing I changed was the keyserver, seems like hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net is more reliable than keys.openpgp.org. I’m glad it worked for you!
